Just what I needed...

Feeling rough as, I was so glad to see Carlos home tonight. Though I was off work poorly, I found I couldn't just lay down and rest, as everytime I tried, I either couldn't breathe because my nose was blocked up, or I had the snuffles so bad I was up and down like a yoyo grabbing for the tissue box every 2 seconds.... I hate colds and flu's!

Instead I went into the garden and harvested all the apples that the squirrells hadn't eaten and shared them out with my elderly neighbours. (We'll all be eating crumble and pie every night for the next two months I should think!)

So anyway - I'm back indoors and Carlo comes home. He says.... "I've got something for ya..." and I remember he was paid today....and I smile and hold my hands out expectantly.

Wine maybe??

Chocolates?

Some trash mags to take my mind off my cold?

Nope! He gave me a packet of Beechmas flu plus and a box of Kleenex Ultra balm... !

What a man.... He always knows just what I need, eh? :-D
